I just don't believe in ultra low carb diets. I am going to look that video up on youtube though, and listen to the whole thing.
I appreciate what you bring to the table. Whether we all agree is not important. I like the fact that we can have discussion and different points of view.
I do wonder if there will be any long term side affects of low carb diets..... just my own curiosity.

My wife and I following this book (
http://www.amazon.com/dp/0967005701/...l_38qd1e8u30_e ) for a time last year and got really good results. We didn't follow it 100%...mainly the low-carb suggestions. And about fiber...the dietary fiber content isn't counted in the net carbs since it isn't absorbed by the body. I easily lost 15 pounds within a couple months and felt much better.
